Edit: Damo has kindly supplied me with a pair of uprights (many thanks), and I have just realised I forgot to specify what type of tailshaft (doh')

I need just the front/gearbox half of a broken manual tailshaft to suit an sr20 - I have an auto one for the rear half and I have to shorten it to make it fit the clubman, might as well use one thats of no good to anyone ;)

I am in Hobart, but travel a bit occasionally, so if you can help me out with some parts in exchange for money, shoot me a pm, thanks all!

Oh, and if you are interested, the parts will be going into this

i just had a look at your page. the biuld seems good sofar. is that an r32 rear subframe as well? what brakes will you be running? and how stuctualy sound are these things? i dont doubt that it may be stront just looks like to many boxes and not enough triangles for strength? also how do you go about getting these things engerneered?

just a few questions as it looks like it would be orsome fun to make one? are you biulding off plans as such or all from scratch.

Thanks, the subframe was from a silvia, but from what I understand they are baisically the same as the r32 - the brakes are coming from the silvia too, the book frames are pretty strong - about twice what you need to get registered, my frame is mostly from the book except for the rear end (book frames are live axle) and the front suspension - I want to keep it all nissan, so I will redesign the front wishbones around the skyline hubs.

The engineering is a bit of a process, you submit an application to build your ICV (Individual Constructed Vehicle) to service tas, they give you the ok, and a list of engineers, then take a copy of the papers to your preferred engineer who keeps them on file. Then start building your chassis to about the point where mine is now, then call your engineer to check the welds and general structure. Fix problems, then continue building the car till you are happy its ready, call the engineer again, he will hopefully give it the all clear and you can register it like a normal car!

It has been a lot of fun to build, there are a lot of design issues and problems that you have to think your way around, and a lot of time involved - there is probably around 200 hours in what I have done already - someone who knows what they are doing would probably spend a lot less time tho :(

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      Stock ECU (or more accurately stock tune) absolutely refuses to go over 10psi and behaves like you have seen. The Nistune is the same if it is the stock tune. If the Nistune chip has been tuned, the resulting tune could be literally anything for any combination of parts. The Nistune just makes the stock ECU Tunable.

      So stock ECU does not like anything above 10 psi?  That Nistune one is just for "try" if it will be any different, I know it need to be tune for that. I know but YOU may know about these problem but i/we dont. They few little Skylines here let alone people who know anything about tham so that is why iam asking here

      V37 Radiator removal

      So now we have a radiator with no attachments whatsoever. It lifts up with a particularly tight spot between the drivers side air box mount and the lower radiator outlet, but if you've got this far you will sort that too. This is the lower mounts with the rad out so you can see where the rubber bushes go, it is a straight shot upwards Done! Assembly is the reverse of disassembly, with blood less likely to be shed.

      Right, onto the second last trick. The Air Con condenser is mounted to the front of the radiator and stays in the car when the radiator is removed. There are 2x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the condenser to the radiator, remove those The bottom of the condenser is attached to the radiator with clips. You need to lift the condenser out of those clips and clear (up, then forward). f**ked if  could work out how to do that last bit with the front bumper on. I hope you can, and you share the trick.  Bumper removal probably deserves its own thread one day once I've recovered the will to live, but basically you need to remove the wheels, front inner guard liners (clips and 10mm headed bolts), the self tapper between the guard and the bumper at the rearmost point of the bumper (same as an R32 that bit), any remaining clips at the top/front of the grill, an absolute bastard design with a plate that holds the top of the bumper above the headlight each side (only 1 bolt which is tricky to get to, but the plate catches 2 places on the bumper and must be removed....carefully!) and push clips between the bumper and guard under the headlight. If you've done all that you will be faced with wiring for the fog lights on both sides and in ADM Q50 RS at least, 4 nasty tight plugs on the driver's side for the ADAS stuff. So, the clips at the bottom look like this on drivers side (looking from the front) And on the passenger side (also from the front), you can see this one is already out Clearance on both of these are super tight; the condenser needs to move up but the upper rad support mount prevents that, and the radiator can't move down far because it is (rubber) mounted. Once you achieve the impossible and drop the condenser off those mounts so it does not stop the rad moving, you are good to go

      OK, next the shroud needs to come off and there are a couple of tricks. Firstly, there is a loom from near the passenger side headlight to the fans, coolant temp sensor etc and there is no plug to undo.  In my case I was OK to leave the shroud on top of the engine so I just undid the passenger side fan plug and about 10 of the clips which gave enough free wire to put it aside. The fan plugs were super tight, the trick I used was a small falt screwdriver to push down on the release tab, then a larger flat screwdriver to lever the plug out of the fan unit....be careful with how much force you apply! If you need to remove the shroud altogether for some reason you will have to deal with all the plugs (tight) and clips (brittle)....good luck. I removed all of the clips and replaced them with cable ties that I will just cut next time. Also, in the Red Sport / 400R at least, the intake heat exchanger reservoir hose is bolted to the shroud in 2 places with 10mm headed bolts; so remove them (the hose stays in the car; no need to undo it at the t fittings down at the radiator lower mount. Once you've dealt with the HX hose and the wiring loom, there are 3x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the shroud to the radiator; remove those.   The shroud then lifts out of the bottom mounts where it sits on the radiator, up and onto the engine out of the way.
